When you open one chakra it touches all, like a river flowing…..So, sometimes opening the heart chakra is the quickest way of opening the third eye.
I was taught that in bowing (pranam) after prayer or meditation, as the forehead touches the floor, the head/third eye bows to the heart, holding the heart elevated above it. Thus when you bow at the foot of a master, you are entrusting the unfoldment of your awareness to that being, to guide the opening of your third eye, the activation of the pineal gland, the expansion of consciousness to follow a safe and beneficial route.
As noted in the mushroom thread, David Wilcock has gathered some great information in his excellent “2012 Enigma” video. The full video is wonderful, but long, so here are the sections that pertain to the pineal gland:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdcNpcLX8kwAs kundalini energy, life energy, rises from your connection with the earth, it is represented as a serpent coiled in the pelvic chakra area, rising in duality–2 snakes coiling around a central pillar, like the cadeucis symbol of medicine:
As it rises, the points where it crosses its own path mark chakras. As it rises through that point, that chakra is pierced and activated. So it rises from the root, safety, through the centers of creativity and power to the heart, then through the voice, then the third eye, then to the crown and on up to higher levels of being. The third eye is synonymous with the pineal gland, which is in the center of the brain, pretty much where a line going in through the middle of the forehead crosses a line that extends through the temples on the side of the head.
DMT, ayahuasca and other molecular activators can kick-start that opening. But so does meditation, yoga, prayer, purification, chanting, crystal work, etc etc. It’s best to have the lower chakras open before the third eye is opened, and that makes sense, especially the heart chakra. And using any substance to kick-start something like that is asking for trouble if you’re not grounded and fully loving and accepting of yourself. A little meditation goes a long way, these days! (I’m referring to the fact that according to the Mayan calendar, we’re experiencing what used to be about 20 years’ worth of change in about a year now.)
Fluoride toothpaste and fluoridated water are not friendly to the pineal gland. Research has shown that by depressing the activity of the pineal, fluoride made people more passive and compliant. So basically, an inactive pineal gland allows you to be accepting of reality as it is presented to you, but an activated pineal gland shows you that you can use your power to create reality, through your vision.

opalescentMemberObama: I have a deep faith
Barack Obama credits his multicultural upbringing for his theological point of view.April 5, 2004
BY CATHLEEN FALSANI Sun-Times ColumnistCasually straightening his tie with one hand as he holds the door for a stranger with the other, the young politician strides into the cafe, greeting an employee by name and flashing a big grin at the rest of the room.
He grabs a bottled protein shake from the cooler at the back of Cafe Baci on South Michigan Avenue, and settles into a table near the soft-drink dispenser, doffing his suit jacket along the way.
Barack Obama
Age: 42
Raised: Christian (nonspecific)
Now: Christian, United Church of Christ
Attends: Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ
Words to live by: “I have an ongoing conversation with God. . . . I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why I am doing it.”“I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there’s an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived.”
Barack Obama is alone on this Saturday afternoon in the city, his press secretary nowhere in sight. He’s not carrying anything with him. Not even notes.
Yet he appears confident as he answers questions about his spiritual life, a subject that would make many politicians — on or off the campaign trail — more skittish than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
If an hourlong conversation about his faith unnerves him, Obama’s not letting on.
The first question he fields without hesitation: What does he believe?
“I am a Christian,” the 42-year-old Illinois state senator and Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate says, as one of the nearby customers interrupts to congratulate him on his recent primary win. Obama shakes the man’s hand and says, “Thank you very much. I appreciate that,” before turning his attention directly back to the question.
“So, I have a deep faith,” Obama continues. “I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.
“That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there’s an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived.”
It’s perhaps an unlikely theological position for someone who places his faith squarely at the feet of Jesus to take, saying essentially that all people of faith — Christians, Jews, Muslims, animists, everyone — know the same God.
That depends, Obama says, on how a particular verse from the Gospel of John, where Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me,” is heard.
Obama’s theological point of view was shaped by his uniquely multicultural upbringing. He was born in 1961 in Hawaii to a white mother who came from Protestant Midwestern stock and a black African father who hailed from the Luo tribe of Kenya.
Obama describes his father, after whom he is named, as “agnostic.” His paternal grandfather was a Muslim. His mother, he says, was a Christian.
“My mother, who I think had as much influence on my values as anybody, was not someone who wore her religion on her sleeve,” he says. “We’d go to church for Easter. She wasn’t a ‘church lady.’ “
In his 1993 memoir, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, Obama describes his mother as “a lonely witness for secular humanism.”
“My mother’s confidence in needlepoint virtues depended on a faith I didn’t possess, a faith that she would refuse to describe as religious; that, in fact, her experience told her was sacrilegious: a faith that rational, thoughtful people could shape their own destiny,” he says in the book.
When he was 6 years old, after his parents divorced, Obama moved with his mother and her new husband — a non-practicing Muslim — to Indonesia, where he lived until he was 10 and attended a Roman Catholic school.
“I went to a Catholic school in a Muslim country, so I was studying the Bible and catechisms by day, and, at night, you’d hear the Muslim prayer call,” Obama recalls. “My mother was a deeply spiritual person and would spend a lot of time talking about values and give me books about the world’s religions and talk to me about them.
“Her view always was that underlying these religions was a common set of beliefs about how you treat other people and how you aspire to act, not just for yourself, but also for the greater good.”
Obama earned a degree in political science from New York’s Columbia University in 1983 and in 1991 graduated magna cum laude with a law degree from Harvard University. Since 1993, he has been a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School.
Those experiences, as much as his multireligious childhood, affect how he expresses his faith, Obama says.
“Alongside my own deep personal faith, I am a follower, as well, of our civic religion,” he says. “I am a big believer in the separation of church and state. I am a big believer in our constitutional structure. I mean, I’m a law professor at the University of Chicago teaching constitutional law.
“I am a great admirer of our founding charter and its resolve to prevent theocracies from forming and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root in this country.
“I think there is an enormous danger on the part of public figures to rationalize or justify their actions by claiming God’s mandate. I don’t think it’s healthy for public figures to wear religion on their sleeve as a means to insulate themselves from criticism, or dialogue with people who disagree with them.”
Still, Obama is unapologetic in saying he has a “personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” As a sign of that relationship, he says, he walked down the aisle of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ in response to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s altar call one Sunday morning about 16 years ago.
The politician could have ended his spiritual tale right there, at the point some people might assume his life changed, when he got “saved,” transformed, washed in the blood. But Obama wants to clarify what truly happened.
“It wasn’t an epiphany,” he says of that public profession of faith. “It was much more of a gradual process for me. I know there are some people who fall out. Which is wonderful. God bless them…. I think it was just a moment to certify or publicly affirm a growing faith in me.”
These days, he says, he attends the 11 a.m. Sunday service at Trinity in the Brainerd neighborhood every week — or at least as many weeks as he is able. His pastor, Wright, has become a close confidant.
So how did he become a churchgoer?
It began in 1985, when he came to Chicago as a $13,000-a-year community organizer, working with a number of African-American churches in the Roseland, West Pullman and Altgeld Gardens neighborhoods that were trying to deal with the devastation caused by shuttered steel plants.
“I started working with both the ministers and the lay people in these churches on issues like creating job-training programs, or after-school programs for youth, or making sure that city services were fairly allocated to underserved communities,” he says. “And it was in those places where I think what had been more of an intellectual view of religion deepened.
“I became much more familiar with the ongoing tradition of the historic black church and its importance in the community. And the power of that culture to give people strength in very difficult circumstances, and the power of that church to give people courage against great odds. And it moved me deeply.”
Obama says he reads the Bible, though not as regularly as he’d like, now that he’s on the campaign trail. But he does find time to pray.
“It’s not formal, me getting on my knees,” he says. “I think I have an ongoing conversation with God…. I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why I am doing it.
“The biggest challenge, I think, is always maintaining your moral compass.”
Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church in the Auburn- Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass set, he says.
“I always have felt in him this consciousness that, at the end of the day, with all of us, you’ve got to face God,” Pfleger says of Obama. “Faith is key to his life, no question about it. It is central to who he is, and not just in his work in the political field, but as a man, as a black man, as a husband, as a father…. I don’t think he could easily divorce his faith from who he is.”
Another person Obama says he seeks out for spiritual counsel is state Sen. James Meeks, who is also the pastor of Chicago’s Salem Baptist Church. The day after Obama won the primary in March, he stopped by Salem for Wednesday-night Bible study.
“I know that he’s a person of prayer,” Meeks says. “The night after the election, he was the hottest thing going from Galesburg to Rockford. He did all the TV shows, and all the morning news, but his last stop at night was for church. He came by to say thank you, and he came by for prayer.”
Obama admits it’s not easy for politicians to talk about faith.
“Part of the reason I think it’s always difficult for public figures to talk about this is that the nature of politics is that you want to have everybody like you and project the best possible traits onto you,” he says. “Oftentimes, that’s by being as vague as possible, or appealing to the lowest common denominators. The more specific and detailed you are on issues as personal and fundamental as your faith, the more potentially dangerous it is.
“The difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and proselytize. There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that if people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior, they’re going to hell.”
Obama doesn’t believe he, or anyone else, will go to hell.
But he’s not sure if he’ll be going to heaven, either.
“I don’t presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die,” he says. “When I tuck in my daughters at night, and I feel like I’ve been a good father to them, and I see in them that I am transferring values that I got from my mother and that they’re kind people and that they’re honest people, and they’re curious people, that’s a little piece of heaven.”
opalescentMemberWhoa, awesome pic, James! I went to the site it’s linked to and wow, is that ever full of interesting things! http://www.akasha.de/~aton/
Interesting factoid: Fluoride (as in toothpaste, etc) accumulates in the pineal gland. 😮
opalescentMemberBARACK OBAMA will be the closer of the cycle in 2012?
Article by Dr. Jose Jaramillo
http://www.inbetween2worlds.comI want to share with all the people that follow the Mayan Calendar on a daily basis, something that you will find really interesting from the point of view of the Mayan Calendar about the 44th President of the United States BARACK OBAMA, in Egyptian ‘BA’ me ans ‘Spirit’ and ‘RA-RACK’ me ans ‘Sun God’ so just to begin with his na me me ans ‘The Spirit of the Sun God.’
He was born on August 4, 1961 which in the Mayan Calendar was the day of the ‘9 Reed kin 113’ in the Galactic week of the ‘Serpent 1 kin 105’ so he will close his cycle within his present life with the energy of the ‘13 Earth kin 117’ in the Mayan Calendar. Just to mention something really interesting is that on February 22nd of the year 2012 when the Mayan Elders from Guatemala will celebrate their New Year’s will be the Day ’13 Earth’ of the Year ’13 Earth.’ Another interesting fact is that the current Mayan Year which started on February 22, 2008 is called the Year of the ‘9 Earth’ which this day sign is guided by the day sign ‘9 Reed’ which is BARACK OBAMA day sign of birth. So all this year from February 22nd 2008 to February 22nd 2009 we are going to be guided by the day sign of the ‘9 Reed’.
His wife MICHELLE, she was born on January 17th 1964, which in the Mayan Calendar was ‘8 Moon or 8 Offering kin 229 in the Galactic Week of the ‘Wind 1 kin 222’ which will be the Mayan day sign of the Next Venus Transit on June 6, 2012. His first born daughter MALIA was born on July 4 1998, which in the Mayan Calendar was ’11 Owl or 11 Wisdom kin 76,’ born in the Galactic Week of the‘Transformer or Death kin 66’ and his second born daughter SASHA was born on June 10 2001, which in the Mayan Calendar was ‘4 Star kin 108’ born in the Galactic Week of the ‘Serpent kin 105,’ which is the same Galactic Week of OBAMA.
When BARACK and MICHELLE OBAMA married was the date October 3rd 1992, which in the Mayan Calendar was the day of ‘4 Owl or 4 Wisdom kin 56’ in the Galactic Week of the ‘Reed kin 52.’ It is very interesting to notice that the last elections was November 4th 2008, which in the Mayan Calendar was ‘4 Road kin 212’ which this day sign was Guided by the energy of the ‘4 Star’ the same day sign energy of his daughter SASHA. BARACK OBAMA and his daughter SASHA they both together are in the same Galactic Week of the ‘Serpent kin105.’And when he was married on the Day ‘4 Owl or 4 Wisdom’ this day sign was guided by the energy of the ‘4 Road’ which was the energy in the Mayan Calendar when he won the Elections on November 4th 2008.
When he became U.S Senator was the date January 4th 2005 , which in the Mayan Calendar was the day of ‘8 Road kin 112’ the very next day was OBAMA Galactic Birthday, so he became U.S Senator in his own Galactic Week of the ‘Serpent kin 105.’ And he became the 44th President of the United State on ‘Road 4’ guided by the energy of ‘4 Star’ which this energy is in the Galactic Week of the ‘Serpent’ too, which is OBAMA’S Galactic Week as well. But what it is very INTERESTING is that July 4th 1776 , when was declared the INDEPENDENCE DAY of the United State of America was the day ‘9 Reed kin 113’ and in Mayan notation is: 12.8.0.1.13:
12 BAKTUN x 144,000 = 1,728,000 days
8 KATUN x 7,200 = 57,600 days
0 TUN x 360 = 0
1 UINAL x 20 = 20 days
13 KIN x 1 = 13 days
Days from the beginning of the Cycle 1,785,633 days (Day ‘9 Reed’)And BARACK OBAMA day of birth August 4th, 1961 was in the Mayan Calendar ‘9 Reed’ and in Mayan Notation is: 12.17.7.15.13:
12 BAKTUN x 144,000 = 1,728,000 days
17 KATUN x 7,200 = 122,400 days
7TUN x 360 = 2,520 days
15 UINAL x 20 = 300 days
13 KIN x 1 = 13 daysDays from the beginning of the Cycle 1,853,233 days (Day ‘9 Reed’)
The difference of days between 4th of July 1776 Independence Day and August 4th 1961 BARACK OBAMA birthday it is exactly 67,600 days which are as follows:
1,853,233 days – 1,785,633 days = 67,600 days
This sacred number represent, that from the time of the Independence Day to the precise moment in time when BARACK OBAMA was born was exactly 260 cycles of 260 days (260 x 260 = 67,600 days) from ‘9 Reed’ to another ‘9 Reed’. So now our question here is: If we can call BARACK OBAMA the chosen President to be the Closer of the Cycle of the United States in the year 2012? Will see!
We need to remember the historical facts: Coincidence or we need to put more attention into the Mayan Calendar to see similar events in human history:
1. The first President of the United State George Washington was born on February 22nd 1732 which in the Mayan Calendar was ‘3 Moon or 3 Offering kin 29.’
2. BARACK OBAMA will take officially position as the 44th President of the United States on January 20th 2009, which in the Mayan Calendar will be ‘3 Moon or 3 Offering kin 29’ same day sign as George Washington.
3. George Washington took position as the First President of the United States on April 30th 1789 , which in the Mayan Calendar was ’12 Owl or 12 Wisdom kin 116’ exactly in the Galactic Week of the ‘Serpent kin 105.’
4. The historical events like the Independence Day, BARACK OBAMA’S birthday and when George Washington took position as the first President of the United States are in the same Galactic Week of the Serpent kin 105.
5. The historical events like the Independence Day and BARACK OBAMA’S and George Washington close their Galactic week with the day sign of 13 Earth kin 117.
6. Both historical events the Independence Day and BARACK OBAMA’S birthday carries the same Mayan Day Sign ‘9 Reed kin 113.’
7. The Year that will start on February 22nd 2012 is known as the Year ‘13 Earth.’
8. George Washington birthday was February 22nd 1732 .
9. So it will be BARACK OBAMA the chosen to be closer of the cycle in 2012?Dr. Jose Jaramillo

maya1320@hotmail.comopalescentMemberYah, I was missing a lot of new postings, which I discovered after I started clicking on the icon to the right, the book with the magnifying glass on it. Try that, it’s a bit more dependable for keeping up with threads, I’ve found.
opalescentMemberHey there, Danielle, sounds like you’ve been busy… and now there’s much to catch up with! So glad you’re back on the boards, welcome, again
opalescentMemberWow, that looks like a master in a tiny package! Excellent form, thank you for posting that! I agree with all Annan says, UFO, it will benefit you to apply your attention thus.
Have you been chanting? That will have a huge impact on your meditations. The resonance from the vibrations will really clear your energies. Here is a video of one version of a great mantra that I used to chant in my group meditation days. It is long and slow and deep and will do much to ground you and shake you free of what you sense as tension. Let your breath relax with the pace of the chant, perhaps let your voice hum with the tones, then move into doing the chant. The syllables are quite powerful. Let thoughts dissolve and be with your breath. OM Namah Shivaya is called the great redeeming mantra, leads the soul home, and awakens the inner guru. Shiva is consciousness and the true guru, your own Self. “Guru”, by the way, means to come from light from darkness.

opalescentMemberThe true guru is inside you. That is what any guru worth his or her salt will teach. Just keep that in mind. And whenever you set an intention for something you wish to be connected to, like “a guru”, make sure you frame it like “the best guru for me” and it’s always good to add something about having it be a joyful and beneficial experience. You will find you will be drawn to the right teacher, because when you signal that you are ready, the teacher will draw you to him or her. That was my experience, and I am so grateful for it. There are so many paths to check out, it’s good to have a link with “your” teacher, and usually that is a link that exists quite strongly outside of time, so there is continuity… at least, again, that was my experience.
Check in with Greg about his experience, too.
You’ll know. Meanwhile, check things out, be open, but be discerning as well, as in all things.
Regarding your meditation, it sounds like you could use some more grounding before you go hither and yon in the ethers. Perhaps some tai chi or chi kung would help you ground your energies and help you manage them, rather than the other way around 😆 Get plugged into the earth before you go reaching for the stars, hey? You are more than worthy, that’s not even a factor, and your guides are as patient as rocks. Don’t rush yourself, be gentle. Get in tune with your “antenna”–it will serve you not only in connecting with higher realms but also with discerning what is seeking to connect with you, and weeding out what is beneficial for your development now and what is potentially hazardous. Again, check in with Greg. 😉
The video clip is from Bruce Lee’s movie “Enter the Dragon”… the art of fighting without fighting…
opalescentMemberMy first thought is that your energy lines within your body are clearing out and you can feel a kind of whooshing of energies through you when that happens, as you’re able to amp up, expanding into a new level of awareness. This was happening to me a lot yesterday in particular. However, you’re also intentionally exercising yourself in new ways and you will, as the subtle bodies come into alignment with your intention, feel a filtering through of that intention into the less subtle bodies, i.e. your physical body. With enhanced awareness, you can synchronize all of that into “making it happen”, as your body responds to your will, your intent, and with diligence in practice and (very important to consider) in purification in whatever ways are appropriate for you at any time, you will find you can more easily work with these sensations. What I experience when I link up to channel is sort of like what you see when a magnet lifts or pulls iron filings.
Consider that the energy is not so much “coming in” as it is uncoiling from within. And if you are in a light bubble, are you not something of a planetary entity yourself? If you merely identify yourself as all, rather than sending light out to the planet, and fill yourself with light, the planet will be filled with light, by your intention alone. Holographically.
Just as the best way to chop wood is to aim your axe not at the log you’re chopping but at the chopping block on which it rests, aim your intention not on the experience but on That which lies beyond (or for that matter, within).

opalescentMemberI am pondering that, too, Ricky… This message tore through me and ripped a lot of stuff loose. I see a lot of “power” being wielded like a baby swinging a machete by some who follow love in name but who have been spouting a lot of fear and hate, especially since the election. This country has a huge thing in front of it, not a big highly organized institution so much but the so-called followers of the teacher of love, who have stopped thinking and loving. Our next-door neighbor, for instance, is sure that Obama is going to slaughter Christians because of his “mooslum” tendencies. Where is the love? Where is the faith? I don’t get it, but that’s why I left the church long ago. When the followers of one who embraced all people without judgment spew ugliness about others because of their personal truths, what have they become? Not followers of Christ, but of doctrine, or…?
